In the last few days, the project has been a topic for discussion within the NFT community. On 22nd February, Tubby Cats became the number one project based on Trading volume on the largest Ethereum-based NFT marketplace, OpenSea.

The 48-hour whitelist mint for Tubby Cats started on Monday. According to the report, the rest of the tokens have now been made accessible for everyone.

Another pseudonymous Twitter user identified as 0xngmi calculated gas prices and their respective cost per token. He then warned users to not attempt minting if they intend to bid below the gas prices he shared because it’s certain that such a transaction will fail.

0xngmi tweeted, “For people participating in public mint, these are the gas prices we’ll likely see (between the two columns) and their associated cost per tubby. If you are going to bid below these gas prices DONT PARTICIPATE IN MINT since your tx will fail. Also: always mint 5 tubbies.”
